Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HE'S A KNOCKOUT) (5-2) - Lightly raced and improving, he chased and weakened late to finish 3rd here at this tag going 8.5 furlongs June 23. He's brought back quickly, has blinkers added, draws the rail, and gets a big rider up-grade.
2nd pick: #2 (Gavination) (2-1) - Speedy sort has been freshened up for just over two months. He's been competitive in three straight at this claiming price going two-turns and had a sharp half-mile work June 19. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Lantzman) (7-2) - NEW gelding cost $250,000 back in 2014, and so far has earned back $940. Shows you how tough this sport can be. Trainer John Sadler switches him from turf to dirt, drops him to a new low, and had him work a quick half-mile here July 6. If he has any ability, it will show against this group.
